Public School Exodus Hits Texas

“Have you looked at the impact that this decline will have on the teacher retirement system?”

May 12, 2026 by Daniel Greenfield

More money keeps being spent for worse results and from fewer students.

Texas school districts are facing a statewide enrollment decline that could deepen in the years ahead, lawmakers were told during a hearing in Austin on Monday.

The warning comes as districts across North Texas — including Fort Worth, Richardson, Coppell and Grand Prairie — have shuttered schools or seriously discussed closures while grappling with shrinking class sizes.
